error creating cursor handle

this is the message wath i got back from a simple table update procedure
error creating cursor handle
WHY??which database engine do you use?
how is anyone supposed to figure out what went wrong if you don't post actual simple table update procedure?
does this error have error code? If so, which one is it?|||the error was solved on anodher forum|||So you cross-posted this message. Generally, it is a bad habit - it causes confusion (should I answer this question or that?). But, if you've already done that, you could have posted link to the answer too.
